The braw wee loco

As part of the park’s Heritage Lottery Funded restoration project the locomotive has been refurbished by volunteers from Shed 47 Railway Restoration Group, at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum, Lathalmond.

Coal mining in the park dates back to the 13th century when monks were known to mine coal in the areas around the glen. Some of the past owners of Pittencrieff House also had links with the coal industry. The Coal Road which runs along the western side of the park was the main link for coal from the mines to the north of Dunfermline down to Limekilns and the Forth Estuary.
